How to spot the original (Tomy)⚠ heavily faked
- Cream chest & belly (the #1 tell)✓ confirmed
Genuine Nidoqueen has the chest plate and belly painted cream/beige. The classic documented bootleg comes ALL blue (with purple hints), missing the cream plate. No painted chest = maximum suspicion.
- Fakes WITH the full stamp✓ confirmed
Fake Nidoqueens have been documented with the full ©Nintendo · C.G.T.S.J · TOMY · MADE IN CHINA stamp. On this figure the stamp does NOT prove authenticity — decide on the chest paint + seam.
- Price bait
It's one of the priciest Kanto Tomys (~$75 loose in the community price guide). A 'cheap and available' Nidoqueen is almost certainly a bootleg.
